I just read this article on Huffington Post about what Pat Robertson said in regards to the terrible tragedy in Haiti.  Another article from US News & World Report has a more complete quote (and it doesn’t make it better; in fact I think it is worse with the whole thing).

The whole thing has me so upset I don’t even know where to begin. People like Pat Robertson give Christians everywhere a bad name. What kind of an asshole bigot says that half a million possible dead is God punishing them? And really, you are comparing one side of the island to the other and coming to some sort of conclusion about God’s favor? I suppose that since Mexico is less prosperous than the US or Canada it’s because we are children of God and they are heathens? Puh-leaze. It’s crap. And the sad thing is, it’s crap that some people will believe because Pat Robertson said it.

I don’t know anyone personally that listens to his show (or at least not anyone that has mentioned it in front of me), but obviously those people must be out there because the man is still on the air. And it makes me sick, knowing the hatred he spreads. This isn’t the first time he’s made completely offensive remarks in the wake of a tragedy. How many times will it take until people realize what a crack-pot he is?

Arg. People like him make me so frustrated. I need to do something else to take my mind of his assholishness. Like donate to the cause.
